  • 5/5 ぶひぶーちょ 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a zoo familiar to you in Higashitsukuba, where "the number one customer in Japan does not come". Personally, now that Amagi Wild Boar Village has disappeared, I expect it to be a leader in the wild boar industry in the future. Therefore, the centerpiece of this zoo is the wild boars who live freely. I think it's a wild boar. At Inoshino Kuni, there is also a promenade where you can observe wild boars up close, and you can buy "Inoshino snacks (200 yen)" at the vending machine near the entrance and give them snacks. Tongs are available, so be sure to throw them or throw them for a snack to prevent accidents. The wild boar eats cutely. In addition to wild boars, monkeys, goats, bears, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, turtles, and other fun friends are waiting for you at Utopia. You can also enjoy a monkey show at the monkey theater for about 15 minutes at a fixed time several times a day. You can also take a walk in the cat room where you can get covered with cats, or choose a dog. Of course, snacks are also available except for bears. Bring cash as you can only buy 100-yen coins such as wild boar snacks. I think it is better to prepare a lunch box etc. in advance for rice etc. and come to the park. * Currently, PayPay cannot be used. * Take your garbage home as much as possible. This time, I didn't bring lunch or cash, and I couldn't give a lot of snacks to the wild boar, so I thought I'd like to give a lot of snacks next time. (Original) 東筑波にある「日本一お客さんが来ない」でお馴染みの動物園です。 個人的には、天城いのしし村が無くなった今、これからのイノシシ業界を、牽引していく存在だと期待しています。 なので、この動物園の目玉は猪達がのびのびと暮らす。 「いのししのくに」だと思います。 いのししのくにでは、間近で猪を観察できる遊歩道も整備されており、入り口すぐにある自動販売機で「いのししのおやつ(200円)」を購入しおやつをあげる事ができます。 トングを用意されていますので、事故防止のため必ずトングか投げておやつをあげてください。 いのししが可愛く食べてくれます。 また、ユートピアでは、いのしし以外にも、サル、ヤギ、クマ、ウサギ、モルモット、ネコ、ワンコや亀さんなど他にも愉快な仲間達がお待ちしていますよ。 また、1日に数回決まった時間に十五分程度のお猿劇場での猿回しも楽しめます。 ネコまみれになれるキャットルームや、ワンコを選んでお散歩もできたりします。 もちろん、熊さん以外はおやつも用意されています。 いのししのおやつ等100円玉のみのため、現金も持参しましょう。 ご飯等も事前にお弁当等を用意して来園された方が良いと思います。 ※現在、PayPay使用不可。 ※ゴミは極力持ち帰りましょう。 今回は、お弁当や現金を持ってこず、いのししにおやつをあまりあげられなかったので、次回はおやつをたくさんあげたいなとおもいました。

    I really enjoyed it🐰❤️ The cat 🐈 is so cute that you can have fun for an hour just in the cat's space! Compared to going to a cat cafe around the corner, there is no time limit and you can relax and interact with cats! The clerk was also very friendly! The weather was bad, but I was lucky that there were animals indoors 😆❣️ There are some people who give ridiculously low ratings in reviews, Those who search poorly and only complain, I think you should not go from the beginning 😂 If you go to a high-class zoo in the city I think it's great 😂 The management is working so hard. I don't need any advice for zoos. If you want to give advice, I think you should make a donation for the animals first.

    志村どうぶつ園で見てからずっと気になってたので来てみました。 動物と触れ合うのが好きなのでまた行ってみたいです! 行くまでの道は山の中の狭い坂道をずっと昇ってく感じです。見通しも悪いのですれ違う時は注意しないとですね…かなり怖かったです。笑 動物好き、動物園マニアにはかなりオススメです。 珍しい、変わった動物、人気の動物がたくさんいるわけではなく、保護犬等、保護された動物が沢山いるのがポイントかと思います。 また、動物との距離がかなり近いので触れ合いたいという方にはおすすめです。 その他感想 食事:レストランやフードコートはないですが、 冷凍食品やカップラーメンがあり、受付に電子レンジ、電気ポットがあります。そこがまた良い。笑 トイレ:古いですが、トイレ自体はキレイな様式ウォシュレット付きで安心しました。

    (Translated by Google) Visited alone on weekdays, reserved. My honest opinion. ・There were so many animals and it was a hot and humid day, but it didn't stink. The staff are doing their best, people who smell like this don't know the zoo. It's better not to come. ・I'm so happy to be able to see the bears closer than any other zoo. ・All the animals are cute, and I'm happy to be able to feed them. I'm worried, even though it's extra care. ・It's hard to go to the boar's place! Wheelchairs and elderly people can't do it... It can't be helped, but anyway, the slope is steep. Kids will be fine. ・The road to the park is chaotic w This can't be helped anymore, I can only say that people who are not good at driving should be careful w Anyway, they take care of children who have no one to take them and have no place to go, and I feel that the staff are doing their best. It's not like I'm taking care of myself, but I can't get a bad reputation. Isn't it good to pick up and take care of people who have complaints? If you do it, you'll understand what it's like to take care of living things. I want the staff to do their best in the future, and the Uribo, the dog, and the baby goat are all really cute and cute, so I stayed for almost two hours. (Original) 平日にひとりで来園、貸切状態。 素直に感想。 ・これだけ動物いて蒸し暑い日だったけど臭くない。スタッフさん頑張ってんだろな、これで臭うって人は動物園知らな過ぎ。てか来ない方が良いのでは。 ・熊がどこの動物園より近くで観れるのはめちゃくちゃ嬉しい、初めてこんな近くでじっくり観れた。 ・どの動物も可愛い、餌やり出来るのも嬉しい、ただ利益考えると200円スタートでも良いのでは…?心配になっちゃう、余計なお世話だけども。 ・猪のとこに行くまでがキッツい!車椅子や老人は無理なのでは…しょうがないのだけどもとにかく坂が急。キッズは大丈夫でしょう。 ・園までの道のりがカオスwこれはもうどうにもならないからしょうがない、運転下手な人は気をつけてねとしか言えないw とにかく誰にも引き取り手が無い行き場の無い子も面倒見てくれてるし、スタッフの人達もがんばってくれてんだろなぁとしみじみ。自分が面倒見る訳でもないのにとてもじゃないけど悪評なんかつけられない。文句ある人は引き取って世話したら良いんじゃないかな?やったらわかるよ、生き物の世話ってどうゆう事か。今後もスタッフさん達にはがんばってほしい、そしてウリ坊もワンコも子ヤギもマジでカワイイof可愛い過ぎてなんやかんや2時間近く居た。

    GWの土曜日雨が上がり急遽思い付き訪問。駐車場3台のみ停車ガラガラ。私が小学生の頃に連れてってもらった記憶有り…全盛期だったのでしょうか賑わっているイメージでしたので幼稚園児の孫達連れて35年振り位の訪問。 入場料大人千円弱 4才以上720円位。 建物は老朽化し動物かなり減り見所無し お猿のショーの放送が聞こえ観覧。3歳の杏子チャンが6ヶ月練習した芸を披露してる姿に感動しました。最後にいのししに期待し過酷で危険な坂道登りましたが🐗一周歩いて終了。雨上がりなので急坂道が落葉とで滑りかなりの危険度。園を支えてくれてる方々に感謝致しますが受付の男性声掛けも無く活気無さが更に残念。帰る頃には他県ナンバーも入って来てました。 どうか頑張って欲しいと願います。

    A small zoo where you can interact with animals I feel like the animals should be managed a little better. . . ^^; I was told that I could pay the entrance fee with PayPay, but I gave up on that as there was no signal, so I paid in cash. I was shocked when I realized that there was a JAF discount when changing. . . (lol)

    This ☆5 is the evaluation of the previous director, and is not the current evaluation. I saw a video of Tsukuba Utopia, but hasn't the environment gotten worse since the director retired? Animals that still live a long time die The saddest thing was that Boss Pooh, who was the boss of the cat corner, passed away without knowing the details...I cried... Pooh-chan, thank you for giving me and my wife a smile and energy. May you be happy as a boss even in heaven. As of December 2023, the number of staff has increased, the environment has improved, and the animals are doing well.

    (Translated by Google) It was often broadcast on TV and I was curious about it. Overall fun! I can't say that, but I think it has been devised so that it can be enjoyed. I think it is good for animal lovers such as cat contact and dog walks. Ducks and chickens are also free-range and walking around there lol The monkey show is also interesting. The park is small and there are many slopes, so walking is a little tiring, but it's cute. There are also discounts and JAF discounts that can be downloaded from the homepage, so I would like to actively use them. Rather than that, I feel that it would be better to improve the road to Utopia to attract customers ... (Original) よくテレビでも放送されて気になったのでいきました。 総じて楽しい! とまではいきませんが楽しめる工夫はされていると思いました。 猫のふれあいや犬のお散歩等動物好きにはいいと思います。 アヒルや鶏も放し飼いでそこら辺を歩いています笑 さるのショーも面白いです。 園内は狭いし坂も多いので歩いてると少し疲れますがそれはご愛嬌で。 あとはホームページからダウンロードできる割引やJAF割りもあるので積極的に利用したいところです。 それよりもユートピアに行くまでの道を整備した方が集客できそうな感じはしますが……

    People who are unable to support themselves in their legs or hips should carry a cane. In many places, footing is difficult and the slope is steep and there are few or no handrails. The cats at the cat cafe are cute and friendly, but the interior feels run down and dirty. There is no smell of excrement, but the cat has a runny nose and mucus in its eyes, so I'm concerned about its health. I'm worried that the flooring will make my cat's legs hurt. I appreciate that the toilet is Western style. When I patted the back of one of the dogs, I found that it was as thin as skin and bones. Is it because he's old or because he's tired from the summer that he doesn't have a good appetite? But when you get close to any dog, they wag their tails and pet you, making them look comfortable and cute. A badger, a raccoon dog, and a palm civet are kept in a cage together, but it's hard to see the animals, probably because the wire mesh is double. I wish someone would invest more money to improve the environment. The animals are so cute... The employees were nice. The road to get there was steep and there were many fallen trees. Even though the road was so narrow that cars could barely pass each other, an oncoming car was driving in the middle at high speed, which was very scary.

    (Translated by Google) ■ For rabbits First of all, there were no rabbits in Usamoru Square. Only guinea pigs are in Usamoru Square. The rabbit is in the entrance building. (20220129) Cats are relatively clean, probably because they are popular, but for rabbits, it may be unpleasant for those who keep rabbits just by pushing them into the room, so it is better not to go for rabbits. It may be good. ■ To parents There are some places in the park that have been damaged due to aging, so if you are traveling with children, please keep an eye on them and check whether they are safe or not each time. The road to the wild boar corner felt quite steep even for adults. Why don't you proceed slowly and slowly while solving the quiz on the signboard with your child? (Original) ■うさぎ目当ての方へ まずうさモル広場にうさぎは居ませんでした。モルモットだけうさモル広場にいます。 うさぎは入口の建物にいます。(20220129) 猫については人気なのか比較的綺麗にされていますが、うさぎに関してはとりあえず室内に押し込んだだけという感じでうさぎを飼っている方から見たら不愉快に思うかもしれないのでうさぎ目当てでは行かない方が良いかもしれません。 ■親御様へ 園内は所々に老朽化で傷んだところが見受けられますのでお子様をお連れの方はお子様から目を離さず、都度安全かどうか確認してあげてください。 イノシシコーナーへの道のりは大人でもかなり険しく感じました。ゆっくりゆっくり看板に記載されているクイズをお子様と解きながら進んでみてはいかがでしょうか。

  • 4/5 クボキヒロシ 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This is my first visit. I wanted to see the wild boar 🐗, but it seemed that most of them were evacuating to the shade because of the heat. However, there were more than 10 wild boars that I wanted to feed, so I was glad that they ate deliciously when I gave them food. Especially the boar was cute and fun. I have also seen other animals. I think I want to go again. Director, please give me more videos of wild boar 🐗. (Original) 初めて来ました。猪🐗が見たくて来たが、暑さのせいかほとんどが日陰の方に避難してるみたいでした。しかし、エサの欲しいそうな猪が10数頭居たのでエサをあげたら美味しそうに食べてくれたので良かったです。特にうり坊は可愛くて楽しかったです。その他の動物もしっかり見てきました。また、行きたいと思います。園長、もっと猪🐗の動画をあげてください。

    動物園ではありません。 保護動物飼育自然公園、なら納得かも。 古く昭和な雰囲気、といえばレトロでいいかもしれませんね。 車での道も施設も受付も、全て古く整備不足な印象を受けます。 受付のある建物にはウサギやヒヨコ、猫などがいますがこの時期だからか臭いが半端ないです。他の動物園の屋内ふれあいコーナーとかとは比べ物にならないと思います。 鶏やアヒルはその辺を自由に歩いており、犬はただ囲いもなく等間隔で繋がれています。申し訳ないですが、触る気にもなれませんでした。 猪が目的でしたが健康坂という200mのそこそこ急な坂を登らなくては見ることもできません。 途中にある休憩スペースは朽ちて汚く、勿論座れません。 体力がない方はご注意ください。 そしてもし登りきれたとしても、その頑張りに見合った感動は得られません。 どうしてもイノシシが見たい方は頑張ってみてください。 これで入場料1200円。 動物の保護や飼育は大変だし素晴らしいことだと理解できますが、 せっかく筑波山という素晴らしい観光地にあるのに、生かせないのはもったいないです。 もう少し手を掛ければ、もっと素敵な観光施設になると思います。 追記・ちょっとしたデートコースには向かないと思いますが、廃墟や自然に溢れたものや雰囲気が好きな方は行ってみてもいいかもしれません。合法で入れて探索できる古い施設ですから・・・

    This place is very disturbing in many ways. From the first step, you see this place is in financial troubles: walls are crumbling, garbages are poorly managed and painting are worn out. The saddest part is the entrance: the booth was transformed into a cat cage, and two poor cats remained locked out all the time with no light, no heat in winter and no conditioned air in summer. They do not seem to have a human contact and beg you to pet them when you approach them (but you can't, they're behind a window). This is borderline animal abuse. I didn't dare to go inside. If all the animals are treated the same way, it's really shocking.

    Last month, I visited for the first time with a friend. And both my friends and I really liked it. Interacting with animals is soothing! This time, I visited with my husband. My husband also really liked it and seemed to have a lot of fun. Cats, dogs, goats, boars, birds, bears, rabbits, monkeys, etc. It has a lot of good things that you don't find in regular zoos. I want to support this zoo! I would like to visit as much as possible to see the growth of various animals and to be healed at the same time.

    The road is dangerous... There seem to be several routes, but when I went to the shortest one selected by the navigation system, I found that the one that was like a beastly road where you could never pass each other was a big hit. It might be dangerous if you don't drive. We recommend the route recommended by the homepage. Some people seem to have criticized it badly (I think it was influenced by the time of year they went), but the animals were healthy and clean (especially the cats were so cute), and I enjoyed it to some extent. However, the boar farm at the top had a terrible smell, the uphill slope was quite steep, and is it closed? (You can see the stuffed animal) or someone stepped on it or kicked it...

    動物と近く、たくさん触れ合える施設です。受付は無人で、必要であれば連絡できます。券売機もありますが、paypayも使えそうでした。 まず受付前に猫がいます。入って椅子に座ると4匹くらい乗ってくるので猫好きはここで時間が溶けます。とても人慣れしており、管理スタッフの努力が見られます。目薬もしていて、体調管理も気を配っていそうでした(前のコメント見ると、スタッフさんが代わったのかも?)。 猪は現在豚コレラで区画が制限されていますが、間近で見ることはでき、餌やりもできます。 クマは夏だと水鉄砲で遊べます。口を開いてくれます。 犬は餌やりだけでなく散歩もできます。 他にはヤギ、うさぎ、くじゃく、アヒル、ポニー、羊、カメ等がいて、どの動物も近くで触れ合えます。 捨てられた動物を積極的に保護しているそうで、応援したい施設です。

    ホームページのクーポンを見せましょう。 そこまで大きい動物園ではないのですが2時間以上滞在してました。餌やりがメインの動物園ですね。 昭和感溢れる園内も私は好き。30年振りくらいの訪問となりました。 滑っても良いのかわからないくらい古い滑り台はなかなかのスリルでした。全く滑らなかったけど。。 犬達が生き生きとしてなかったのが気になった。 土曜日なのに猿のショーが中止ということが残念でした。

  • 4/5 ちまき。ちゃん 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was worried about it from Shimura Animal Garden, but I visited there the other day because I moved here. Is there a habit in a sense? There is no loss even if you visit the story once at the facility. There are some parts that are aging, but the wild boar Uribo is insanely cute, you can experience feeding, you can enjoy monkey shows and cats ♪ Gachapon near the reception is also fun ☆ It's not crowded, so I think it's the best place for those who want to laugh and relax and be healed by animals. However, the slope to the wild boar country was so painful that I couldn't breathe ... so be careful if you are worried. It may be rude, but I enjoyed it enough because I didn't expect much (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) (Original) 志村どうぶつ園から気にはなっていましたが、こちらへ引越して来たのもあり先日訪れました。 ある意味クセのある?施設で話のネタには一度は訪れてみても損はありません。 老朽化してる箇所はありますが、イノシシのウリ坊はめちゃくちゃ可愛いし、エサやりも体験出来たり、お猿のショーや猫ちゃんと触れ合えたりと、お子様とも楽しめます♪ 受付付近にあるガチャポンも何気に楽しい☆ 混雑してないので笑笑、ゆっくりのんびり動物に癒されたい方には最適な場所だと思います。 ただ、イノシシの国へ向かう坂道は息が切れるくらいしんどかった…ので心配な方はご注意を。 失礼な言い方かもしれませんが、あまり期待してなかった分、充分楽しめました(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

    (Translated by Google) A place of memories that I used to visit when I was little. It's been decades since then, but there aren't many people on the street who are self-deprecating, so you can enjoy it to your heart's content! !! Smile Especially feeding monkeys is fun and I can stay there forever. However, it was too close, good or bad, so it was lightly scratched when the monkey came out of the cage ... be careful. If you purchase in advance online, you can enter for 1000 yen. I was able to interact with dogs and cats without any time limit, and I enjoyed it so much and was very satisfied. (Original) 小さい頃よく来た思い出の場所。 数十年ぶりでしたが自虐してる通り人が少なく思う存分に楽しめます!!笑 特にお猿さんへの餌やりは楽しく、ずっといられます。ただ、良くも悪くも近すぎるため猿が檻から手を出してきた時に軽くひっかかれました…気をつけてください。 ネットで事前購入すれば1000円で入場できます。犬や猫とも時間制限なく触れ合うことができ、ここまで楽しめ大変満足でした。

  • 4/5 ぷらむっち 4 months ago on Google
    餌やり体験用の餌は都内の施設に比べて量が多く、イノシシのくに(200円)以外は100円でお得でした。 猫ちゃん達はおとなしい性格で小さい子も安心な感じです。おやつはしっかりと食べに来てくれるので楽しめました。毛並みも良く触り心地良かったです。 ヤギやモルモット、ウサギ、犬、日本猿、鶏、孔雀、イノシシに餌やりができました。 通常の餌よりも数量限定の生野菜の餌の方が食いつきは抜群です。 イノシシのくには生ゴミ臭が気になりましたが、ある程度はしょうがないと思いますが、もう少し軽減されるとありがたいです。 向かうまではかなりの上り坂になりますが、豆知識の看板を読みながら登ると多少気が紛れます。何か連れていってくれる乗り物や乗っていけるバギーなどがあればいいと思いました。

    (Translated by Google) A small zoological park in the region near Mount Tsukuba. The park seems to be quite old and apparently it used to be very busy, but it started to have some movement after it appeared on a television show... The place is very interesting and has a good variety of animals, it really hurts to see some animals trapped, but at least they are receiving care and attention. An interesting place to stroll..... (Original) Um pequeno parque zoológico na região próxima ao monte Tsukuba. O parque parece ser bem antigo e aparentemente já foi bem movimentado, mas voltou a ter algum movimento depois que apareceu em um programa de televisão... O local é bem interessante e tem uma boa variedade de animais,realmente dá dó de ver alguns animais presos,mas pelo menos eles estão recebendo cuidados e atenção. Um lugar interessante para passear.....
